God's torch

God’s torch                                                                                                     
 
You may think you’re stuck
waiting for Someone’s whimsical touch,
 
the reward or culmination
of some sort of heartfelt endeavor
 
to secure your ultimate liberation.
But in truth there is no waiting –
 
no fixed point from which to hope;
no time to stop in the ceaseless sweep,
 
not one stationary atom of you
to hold back and hold forth.
 
Existence is God’s torch burning itself out.
Its constant flux is the great Illusion
 
(per Meher) for in God there is no change,
no journey nor destination, no bonds to break,
 
no height to attain as from first to last,
the universal everything is the unimaginable zero.
 
O child, all of existence is God’s whimsy.
Eternal grace is ever there within you.
